Chapter 2562: Chapter 2498: You Call That Being Careful?
The phone call was, of course, from Jiang Shiheng.
The earlier call, because they had to attend a banquet, left no time to talk in detail. Both he and Cheng Cheng were worried that Chiang Xiao was still concerned, so they made the call once they returned to their courtyard.
"Little hasn’t gone to bed yet, right?" Jiang Shiheng knew from hearing Chiang Xiao’s clear voice that she was definitely still awake.
"No, she’s been painting all night."
Just drawing Talisman Diagrams.
"I know you like to paint, but don’t stay up too late often; it’s bad for your eyes, understand?"
"Dad, I know."
Chiang Xiao thought, with the Spatial Medicinal Field and Spring Water, her eyesight was remarkably good and wouldn’t be harmed.
But of course, she wouldn’t say that aloud.
"Are you feeling emotionally drained tonight?" Chiang Xiao asked proactively, "What did Old Man Lu say? Did he upset you?"
Jiang Shiheng chuckled lightly, "I guess he’s the one more upset. Little, you shouldn’t worry too much; we’ll be more careful from now on."
"That Cheng Cheng, is that what you call cautious?" Chiang Xiao immediately shouted.
Jiang Shiheng glanced at Cheng Cheng who was standing nearby.
Cheng Cheng immediately knew his sister had surely said something about him again.
But this time, he admitted defeat. No matter what she said, he accepted it without argument.
It was indeed his fault for being careless. There was no reason, just acceptance.
"He knows now, and he’ll be more careful in the future. This incident served as a wake-up call," Jiang Shiheng sighed. "Actually, it’s because we were too kind-hearted, unable to foresee how ruthless the other side could be."
Kind and straightforward people often suffer when compared to those who are dark and vicious at heart; at first, there’s always some disadvantage, so Cheng Cheng couldn’t be entirely blamed.
But with this incident, Cheng Cheng will understand from now on.
Chiang Xiao snorted again.
That bottle with the blue cap was almost pure Spirit Spring Water.
It was originally saved for Ah Liu as a last resort to save his life, but now it was used for Cheng Cheng.
Such blue-bottled Spring Water, she only gave Ah Liu two small bottles.
So she felt she needed to find an opportunity to quickly take a trip to D State to replenish their supplies.
Especially for Cheng Cheng.
The Peace Talisman also needs to be given to him.
Thinking about this, Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but sigh.
"Dad, Old Man Lu must have been pressuring you to marry Lu Shuangshuang, right?"
"Well, don’t worry about that. You know dad will never agree, nor will I follow his demands."
"But, aren’t there many in the Jiang Family who want the Lu Family’s support? Your pressure isn’t small."
"Your great-grandfather is fully on my side now," Jiang Shiheng said.
The reason he and Cheng Cheng only returned after ten o’clock was that they had been to Old Master Jiang’s place earlier and listened to a lot he had to say.
The banquet tonight wasn’t without gain.
At least, the Lu Family was indeed feeling restless, hence the pressure for him to marry Lu Shuangshuang.
However, it also allowed Old Master Jiang to see a lot more clearly. He also saw the problems.
In the past, perhaps because Old Master Jiang believed in everyone in the Jiang Family, trusting that everyone’s efforts were driving in the same direction, he hadn’t thought there was anything wrong with what was said.
But after he was in trouble, walking near the Gate of Ghosts, he realized where the problems lay.
He keeps a cautious approach not just towards the Lu Family but also towards other members of the Jiang Family.
In this way, he views things with much more calmness and rationality.
